While school is closed, we would really like children to be able to keep  in touch and let  the staff and other pupils of the school how they are.

Instead of Star of the Week, I will be adding birthdays of the week.  I will list everyone’s birthday that falls in the week and it would be lovely if you could start following us on the blog so that the children can comment on each other’s posts and wish each other a Happy Birthday etc.

If you send in photos to me, I will do my best to publish them as soon as I can.

Thanks everyone.

Love Miss Hedges xx

 

 

Please find below some photos of the Cross Country competitors at the recent School Games.  More commentary to follow when I can catch Mrs Harvey!

 

We are excited to tell you that the whole school is working to create a History Mural in the hall.

The mural will include a timeline which includes images of:

• The Victorians
• The Stone Age
• The Romans
• The Mayans
• Egypt
• World War II

Yesterday was the first planning session and we have included some photographs to show you the beginnings of the project.

We will add more information as the work continues.

 

 

One of our favourite days of the year!  Thank you to everyone who has made the effort to dress up – as usual the school is looking very colourful  – there are some great costumes around the place!

We had a special assembly so that children could look at each other’s costumes and the staff were tasked with the difficult decision of picking first, second and third in each base.

During the day, children will have some time working on different book based tasks in their bases:

• Year 5 and 6 are all working on creating book based board games.
• Base 3 are designing posters of their favourite book.
• Base 5 are doing a World Book Day Quiz.
• Base 6 are hosting their own Book Awards.
• Base 7 are sharing their favourite stories with friends and making bookmarks.
• Base 8 are having great fun ‘hot seating’, where they introduced their characters to the class. We got to meet and question Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, the Queen of Hearts and one of Goldilocks 3 bears. We were surprised to learn that ‘Baby Bear’ actually liked Goldilocks very much and they have become good friends.
• Base 9 are looking at Chicken Licken and finding a way to stop the egg from breaking when it drops from the sky!

 

 

Lexi and Kyra – You have worked really hard this week in Maths, finding fractions of amounts.  It has been lovely to see your confidence and independence shine!

Tegan – you have a brilliant attitude and work hard at everything you do.

Martha – you always try your best and you are making a real improvement with your reading.  You are polite and helpful and a great member of Base 3!

Lyndon – we have noticed a real improvement in your attitude to work and this is shown in the quality of the work you are producing – keep it up!

Hriday – well done on being polite and good mannered in class this week!

We are so pleased with the way that you have participated in our algebra lessons this week.  Well done – keep up the good work!

Chloe – Chloe is an expert on eggs and was able to name lots of birds! She explained to the class that sheep have lambs and not eggs.

Ava and Zara have been extremely well-organised, helpful and kind.  They are always keen to offer a helping hand to Mrs Buckland and their class mates and they are really good girls – Well done.

 

Robyn has really impressed her teachers with her “can do” attitude this week.  She has worked hard to learn her sounds and her enthusiasm to read has made Miss Melaniphy and Mrs Gilbert very happy.  Well done Robyn!

Moorfield Primary School Choir is a group that meets on a Tuesday after school. Working with Miss Cliff and Mrs Medhurst they learn a variety of songs and attend performances at concerts such as Young Voices which took place at Birmingham Resorts World Arena in January. Sometimes the children sing in the community of Newport at the Christmas Lights Switch on and at local nursing homes.

This evening they will be singing at Telford Priory School along with other schools in Telford and Wrekin.  This morning they took part in the rehearsals at TPS and we are looking forward to seeing them perform later.

Tonight’s concert included performances by six Telford primary schools and Moorfield . As well as individual performances, all the choirs joined together with the TPS choir and band to perform a couple of songs. The event was really well attended and everyone enjoyed it. We were very proud of our choir and particularly loved the new T shirts.

Safer Internet Day is on the 11th February 2020! 

Safer Internet Day 2020 will be celebrated globally with the theme: Together for a better internet. 

At Moorfield, children will have a whole school internet safety assembly and will also take part in associated activities throughout the day, where staff will talk to children about the importance of staying safe online.

The theme for this year is “Free to be Me” and activities will based on tips for the different ages throughout school to help children better understand their use of the internet.

 

Age 3-7

 

Let’s create an internet where we are….

1.   Free to be ourselves

Be proud of all the things that you enjoy and keep on trying different things too. If there are new activities that you want to do online, ask an adult first to help you find them – to check they’re ok for you.

2.   Free to be kind 

Remember, the rules that you follow every day in real life also apply when you’re on the internet. It’s important to treat other people the way that you would like to be treated and always think about their feelings.

3.   Free to play

It’s really important that your parents and carers know what you enjoy doing online, so that they can help you when you need it. Using the internet together as a family is really fun, and you’ll be the best teacher when it comes to showing everyone your favourite games!

4.   Free to be safe

Some parts of your identity must stay private. This is your ‘personal information’ – which includes your name, date of birth, home address, school address, email address and passwords.

5.   Free to talk 

If anyone, or anything, online makes you feel worried, upset or uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult straight away. The sooner someone knows how you feel, the sooner you can be helped.

 

 

Age 7-11

Let’s create an internet where we are….

1.   Free to be creative

The internet is a great place to experiment with how to represent yourself. Whether that is using filters or emojis or giving your avatar wings and green hair in a game, remember to have fun and use the internet to release your inner creativity!

2.   Free to be different

The internet allows us to find more of the things we like or relate to, but it’s also a place where we can learn about people who are different to us. The internet can be a great place to express the things that make you special or unique. Let’s celebrate the fact that so many different people are using it!

3.   Free to feel safe

Always keep your personal information safe online. There are lots of ways you can express yourself without giving this away. Remember that other people online may not always be who they appear to be, so be sure to check with an adult if you are ever unsure about what to share or who you are chatting to online.

4.   Free to expect respect

If someone is treating you or your friends unkindly online, or not respecting you for who you are, you can use the block and report buttons to take positive action to stop it, and make sure you tell someone too. Remember to support your friends and show others how to be respectful and kind online.

5.   Free to ask for help

If you are ever unsure about something you see online, or anything makes you feel worried, upset or confused then ask an adult that you trust for some help and advice.

 

There is lots more information that you can see online, including tutorials and videos for parents to use with children at home.
